    I would agree with Tech, I've never had much luck with the O ring type
    Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.

    I work for a cooling company and when answering tech questions on this same question, I always tell the customer to use a good gasket. You can remove the O ring and just replace it with a good gasket and some hi-temp silicone for insurance as well.
